Buffalo’s attack meets Minnesota’s defence
Buffalo averages 33.3 points and has scored 37, 33 and 36 in its last three games. Minnesota allows only 13.3 per game, with its last three opponents scoring 13, 10 and 19. That creates the clearest attack-versus-defence contrast of the week.
Minnesota’s 20.0 scoring average also means it has relied on keeping games controlled. Murray’s hamstring and Darrisaw’s shoulder could affect that plan, while Buffalo is checking Palmer after his in-game hamstring injury. The extra day offers time for clarification. Both ratings are withheld until Minnesota’s quarterback availability is established.
